Junior education minister Ciaran Cannon said his colleagues and government needs to prioritise the inclusion of coding and computer science in the school curriculum or risk children falling behind. A new survey found 2/3 of adults believe coding is as equal importance as maths, science and languages. 3/4 of parents said they would send their kids to coding club, like those run by CoderDojo, if they were available in their area.
